    He's a 30 year-old artist, using social media and technology to try to make a name for himself in the art world. To become the most famous artist.

    A lot of his work looks like this, repurposing old art he finds at flea markets and estate sales...

    Or like this, conceptual ideas crafted relatively easily.

    He can sell many of these paintings-on-paintings on Instagram for around $1000.

    Though his more complex work will sell for much higher than that.

    Everything he does is geared towards being shared on social media. We filmed him putting this mural up which he made because thought people would share it online.

    He claims this mural he made in Venice, Ca, last year, was the most instagrammed mural of all-time.

    Whether you're a fan of his work or not, his approach certainly seems very suited to the current moment in the internet.

    And maybe he has a shot at becoming who he wants to be.
